Nilsstua Alpaca Garden

Welcome to Nilsstua farm in Hurdal. 

Here you can take part in alpaca walking and buy unique products and yarns from our own alpacas.

At the farm you will meet Ola Bjerke and Maiken Tømta. A cohabiting couple who at the turn of the year 2018, together with 3 dogs, took over Ola's family farm where the production of roughage was the operation of the farm. At Nilsstua, production of hay is still taking place, but ever since Maiken and Ola took over in 2018, they have wanted to expand – and in 2019 the first alpacas moved in. They have become part of the family at Nilsstua. Alvin and the gang are calm and very special animals with a lot of personality that brings joy and positive energy into everyday life on the farm. 

Much of the reason why the choice fell on alpacas was fiber production – a luxurious fiber that is spun into yarn, in addition to their calm nature. The farm focuses on breeding animals with good fiber quality and with full control of the entire process so that the animals have the best possible. Now, on the other hand, it is desired that more people get to experience how beautiful the alpacas are and get to know them better up close. Here you can take part in alpaca walking and buy unique products and yarns from our own alpacas. You will find us 1 hour north of Oslo. 

Alvin and the gang on the farm are looking forward to meeting you – Welcome!

Eidsvoll 1814 – Norwegian Center for Constitution

Welcome to Eidsvoll 1814 – the cradle of Norwegian democracy

As the place where the Norwegian Constitution was drawn up and signed in 1814, Eidsvollsbygningen (Eidsvoll Manor House) is one of Norway’s most important national symbols.

 Today, the museum encompasses the house itself, along with ancillary buildings and surrounding park, the Democracy Centre Wergeland’s House, ticket sales and souvenir shop, the museum shop, Kafé Standpunkt with al fresco seating, and outdoor exhibitions.

Eidsvollsvollsbygningen

As the place where the Norwegian Constitution was drawn up and signed in 1814, Eidsvollsbygningen is one of Norway’s most important national symbols. The Constituent Assembly was made up of 112 delegates, who gathered here from 10 April to 20 May 1814. The Assembly declared Norway an independent nation, after more than 400 years of union with Denmark, gave the country a constitution and elected a king. The Constitution is dated 17 May 1814, which is celebrated as Norway’s national day.

In 1814 Eidsvollsbygningen was a private home belonging to the owner of Eidsvoll Ironworks. It is a beautiful example of neoclassical architecture, whose design draws inspiration from the ideals of antiquity, and it is unparalleled in Norway.

Great nature and local history on Bærum's famous peak.

Join our nature guide Bjørn on a guided tour in Nature to the Kolsås peak. Here you will have the opportunity to look at the wildlife, learn about the plants in nature and the local history. Koslåstoppen has a unique geology, as part of the Oslo Belt. Hiking starts at Stein farm. We walk on the path along the slope southward, along the mountain, until we reach the path junction that leads us up to Setertjern. In the area here we stop, to see if we can experience the world's fastest bird, the peregrine falcon, it nests in the area here. If we are lucky, we can experience when it plunges down to catch its prey in the air. Eventually we come to idyllic Setertjern, here it will also be time for a little stop,

We walk further towards northern Kolsåstopp, enjoying the view towards Bærum's works and Lommedalen. The return path takes us down the slalom slope to the main road, where we finally come down to Bærums Verk shopping center. Enjoy a nice lunch or a cup of coffee at a local restaurant and summary of the trip. The trip takes 4-5 hours.

Handelsstedet Bærums Verk has over 40 shops, galleries, artist workshops and nice restaurants.

Access by bus 150 to/from Oslo and Bekkestua. A small parking space available at Stein Gård.

Walking with Alpacas

Alexandra Martinsen and Bjørn Brændshøi, two passionate alpaca breeders with more than 10 years experience. We breed alpacas for their luxurious wool and also for their mild, gentle presence which makes them perfect for human interaction. Alexandra is a teacher and she uses the alpacas in her work with children with extra needs. Bjørn is an engineer and focuses on breeding techniques and farm management. Our goal is to let people experience the wonderful alpaca up close and personal and we love seing sparkles in our visitors eyes when they do!

What we’ll do

You will be met by your host who will take you into the alpaca shed and into their field and let you meet the alpacas up close and personal. You will be taught what alpacas are, their origin, their history and of course why we have alpacas today and what we use them for. You will then help out by putting halter and leads on the alpacas, before each and one is given the responsibility for one of the alpacas for the rest of the activity, which takes approximately two hours in total. You will be able to pet the alpacas, take selfies and otherwise get a true and close connection with these very special creatures. We will then walk the alpacas on a scenic nature path in typical Norwegian landscape; fields, woods and hills – please wear clothes and footwear accordingly! We can adapt to visitor special needs. During the whole walk, your host will tell and talk about the alpacas adapted to your liking. We can arrange a typical Norwegian outdoor lunch on our camp site in the woods, using bondfire (if season). Contact us to plan such an outdoor lunch session accompanied by the alpacas! Contact us if your preferred date is not available when booking. Please note that we need to take the weather into account as this is an outdoor activity. If it is raining, it will not be fun for anyone (including the alpacas!).

What else you should know

Remember that the alpaca walk will be outdoors, in the nature. You will need to dress accordingly. Wear warm clothes if cold, especially gloves (you will be leading the alpaca) and hiking boots.

What to bring

Warm clothes (including gloves!) – if cold

Hiking boots or similar – if wet/snow

Water bottle – if hot

Welcome to us and our alpacas!
